Released as the first single from Rattle
and Hum, both the album and the movie, Desire arrived to radio in early
September 1988. The promo singles for the most part contained songs that
would be contained on the commercial single.
One unique promo contained a longer version of the Hollywood Remix of the
title track only.

The Rattle and Hum singles were those that wrapped up one era for the
band, but perhaps also began the introduction to the next, as multiple
remixes of the title track would make it as the b-sides to this and When
Love Comes to Town.
